WCSBS 120 - Bust That Psych Myth

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Description:

This course provides a foundation and hands-on experience in the scientific study of human emotion, cognition and behavior. Through this exploration, the course presents students with opportunity to interact with material in ways that help them understand the context of psychology as a behavioral science among other fields that focus on human behavior (both individual and group) culture, and society, and the context of psychology among other sciences. Other issues discussed will be myths about popular psychology, the effect those myths have on the general public, and how broader society's denial of research findings may be caused by deficits in scientific literacy. This course is not intended for students who have already completed an introductory psychology course. (WCore: WCSBS and RE)
